Are you a researcher, academic, or scientist with published work, grants, or peer recognition behind you?
The UK Global Talent Visa doesn’t require a UK job offer or sponsor for research fields either ,it asks whether your contribution to your field is significant.
For academics and researchers, that can mean:
• Peer-reviewed publications
• Grant funding secured (UKRI, ERC, NIH, etc.)
• Citations and impact in your field
• Invited talks, editorial roles, or peer review work
• Endorsement via UKRI or a recognised research body.
If you’ve been building a research career and wondering whether it “counts” it might count for more than you think.
Send us a DM now to get you on that track.
